Ray Lewis coming to the Cowboys?

According to report in The Baltimore Sun, the Cowboys “are very interested in obtaining” the Ravens’ Hall-of-Fame bound inside LB should he become a free agent. Early speculation has Dallas offering him a three-year pact worth between $27 and $30 million, with $25 million guaranteed.

My guess is it doesn’t happen. Lewis, who is in the final year of his contract, has played his entire career with the Ravens and is the face of the franchise. After losing to the Steelers in the AFC title game, the Ravens are poised to make another run next season, especially if they re-sign Lewis and fellow LBs Bart Scott and Terrell Suggs, also in the final years of their contracts. Lewis desperately wants another Super Bowl ring and he has a better chance to reach that goal if he stays in Baltimore.

And keep in mind that Cowboys outside LB is poised to become the highest-paid defensive player in the league. The Cowboys simply don’t have enough cap space to get both signed to the deals they want.
